Clunes Villa, Awissawella. - getting to the place....!!!

This was our third destination or the second proper one actually, since we visited Wijaya Resort twice. Clunes Villa is a small holiday bungalow situated  in the midst of a rubber plantation in Dehiowita, which is 6km from the Awissawella town. It is easily accessible by any kind of vehicle because the road conditions are quite good in the area, and of cause we traveled in Viras' good old  Swift :). And it took us about a 90minute drive to get to the place from Maharagama. and if you are travelling from Colombo town it will altogether 2hrs for entire drive.(considering that there is no heavy traffic on the high level road.)

But i do remember that we had a hard time finding the place since there was no post guiding us to the exit from the main road that we had to take to get to the hotel, so as always we had to get directions from the locals. Which revealed that some locals are not so familiar with the place thus had no clue about what we are talking about (eg : one of the taxi drivers we met :) ). So if you decide on visiting this place, my advice is to get directions from the hotel staff by calling them prior to your visit.
